    Those are bad-ass...I saw a C&D article about those Honda Powered Minis...

    So how are the dynamics on a car that is almost as wide as it is long?

    pretty much. the steering wheel sits a little to the left. so your kinda crooked. it has a bad wheel bearing and some break issues. But it does have 4 piston calipers. I would gun it and it would jerk all over the place. the shift linkage is a tiny bit crooked (due to the swap) so it was tough going into 2nd. it was awesome. it's so tiny but bad ass!

    the site.... superfastminis.com just invented a kit for the K24 swap. DAMNNNNNNNNN

    Modded K24 in a Mini = Deathly scary.

    I've always wanted to do a B series Mini. The power to weight ratio on those things are unreal. Not sure how safe I'd feel at 120mph in one of those things, though.

    i said that to Guy (our honda tech here). I was like, if they shifted the radiator....turbo... i would def put a header and nice exhaust on it for a little more umph. throw a set of cams and a small amount of N02.....wow. It was tough to control b/c of the wheel bearing, but at 120....wow

    I imagine its a similar feeling to a 16v swapped Mk1 Rabbit. Similar weight, body style, and engine power output.

    why stop there? I'd put an identical engine & suspension setup in the rear, minus the steering rack.

    Don't ask me how shifting a m/t with two transmissions will work though!

    I would imagine that you could modify it so that the clutch pedal manipulates both clutchs and the shifter moves both transmissions. It would be a lot of work though. It would be easier to just use an automatic transmission in the rear engine, nothing to route to other parts of the car.

    I call BS.

    I saw a thread on H-T and someone posted up that same exact picture saying that one had a Type R swap not b16.

    MORE PROOF NEEDED.

    Its a common swap to put a b series in an old mini. In Europe i'm sure someone has a type-r motor in their mini.

    its a type-r valve cover and it could easily be a honda integra b16.

    well, for a small amount of money...COUGH 25,000, you can have one, fully restored, paint, leather interior, wide flares, 4 piston calipers, B16 w/ tranny (not junk yard), autometer gauges, 4 fog lamps, and many many more. for 2500 more you can upgrade to the B18.

    yea, i mentioned that project earlier. I want to get this b16 and put all nice bolt ons to it, I.M., header, TB, cams and gears...i bet it would rip a new asshole in anyone.

    EF SCOTSMAN-i noticed it...i was like...it's a soccer team...but where. I think i saw the logo in a movie...forgot which one. Either Euro Trip or Shawn of the Dead.
